Google’s style guide refers to ‘order-of-destructor issue’ term.
(See the last sentence here: http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cppguide.xml?showone=Static_and_Global_Variables#Static_and_Global_Variables).
What does this exactly mean?
p.s.: a quick search over the internet gave me nothing specific regarding this stuff
It’s referring to the static initialization order fiasco. If you have non-POD global objects with constructors or destructors, the order in which objects get initialized in different translation units (read: source files) is not easily controllable.
